I heard that the account I posted this article on originally has zero prop-
ogation. If you have seen this before, please let me know. If you haven't
seen this before, then just read on...
One Year Ago on RAW: Highlights of Vince McMahon receiving the Michael
Landon award for charity work lead off the show. The Bushwhackers defeat
Damien DeMento & Repo Man, and Repo promptly disappears forever. Tatanka
wins, which is no surprise, because he's UNDEFEATED. Money, Inc. wins a
squash, and Doink defeats Kamala when the crafty clown outthinks the
Ugandan with the help of an empty "present" box. Also this week, Andre
the Giant *is* the WWF Hall of Fame.
WWF Monday Night RAW, coming to you from the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in
Poughkeepsie, NY 28.3.94 (but taped 21.3) and broadcast on the USA Network.
Your hosts are Vincent K. McMahon and James E. Cornette, who provide all
commentary.
I admit it. I missed the first 15 minutes of the show. Having done that,
this is probably the week they decided to change the opening montage.
Anyway, all I really missed is practically all of The Narcissist v. The
Model - Cornette blathers on and on about Piper's poor officiating job,
and McMahon blathers on and on about Perfect's poor officiating job.
After being dominated most of the match, Luger wins with the Rack.
WMX encore ad. If you're reading this now, you've already missed it.
Shot of the Rocket lifting weights and grunting. Yeah, if I were just
about to wrestle a big match, I'd want to make sure I was really TIRED
first.
Hype for next week's big match - the ten man tag from WrestleMania!
Owen Hart v. Mike Freeman - Another thing I obviously missed, Ted DiBiase
has bought the three seats behind the commentators' table. He's counting
money and generally distracting us from the match. Owen does lots of neat
moves as this match goes on and on....Sharpshooter submission (by Freeman).
DiBiase has some big surprises coming up, yeah.
Rerun of Burt Reynolds' "I'm on painkillers" post-WM interview.
Doink v. Eric Cody - Doink squirts DiBiase, what a rebel.
Promos: ICOPRO (Ramon), "New" Jurassic Park Action Figures, SF2:SCE carts
Look, Dink cheats. Nuff said. Oh wait, another tidbit: Doink's
cannonball finisher is now "The Whoopie Cushion." Ack.
WMX encore ad. Geez, do they really think people will buy it if they tell
you how ALL of the matches end beforehand?
Cornette interviews Johnny Polo and Les Quebecois. It only takes about
five seconds before Cap'n Lou makes his way to the ring. Jacques calls
him "Captain Crunch," which is the highlight of my evening. Out goes
Albano, back comes Albano with...the Head Shrinkers. Polo throws a fit
while Afa just looks goofy. After Jacques and Lou have an enlightened
debate about whether or not there will be a tag team Title match coming
up, we take an ad break, having resolved nothing.
Hype for next week's SECOND big match: Earthquake vs. Adam Bomb II
The Black Phantom v. The 1-2-3 Kid - Don't ask me why, but I expected just
a little bit more offense from the Phantom.
WWF Greetings on Call ad.
Crush v. Ray Hudson - Hey, look, Nikolai Volkoff. Whoopee.
Promos: NBA Jam carts, GI Joe Battle Corps, T2 carts
While Vince quotes Hart quoting the Rolling Stones, Crush does a Kwang
impersonation on Hudson.
Next week: Ten man, Quake/Bomb, and also Ramon and Yokozuna in action.
How can they pack all this action into one hour?!?
Highlights of the show we just saw.
